Here we go again! Found this little guy in Georgia and had a wacky idea to build a big brother version of my HSTRU camping trailer...
Looked really beat up but the basics are there including a from the factory spare tire carrier under the bed. I have already done quite a bit of work on it over the last month and a half so will be posting more pics and progress.
Recovery: took a truck bed full of recovery gear and parts. zero issues towing it home 800 miles from Georgia to Missouri. I had a full set of wheel bearings and seals, landing leg i almost threw away from a previous build, figured out which wheel bearing caps were needed, and borrowed a hitch from one of my spare M1102s. Not going into details on recovery but i did do bearing checks in increments as well as just threw a pair of mag towing lights on it and aired up the tires. Towed fine and made it safely home!
Stay tuned for build progress and lots of pics. This is not a restoration build but i hope i can keep the spirit of the trailer intact as i build it out.

Here is how it looked originally. It was cannibalized with lots of parts missing.
